Day 61

Oh, forgot to mention that I saw a deer on my way home last night. It wasn't really scary since I saw it and it never jumped out in front of my car (it ran away). But still.

Picture: N64 wallet

Background: Whoa. How old can this thing be? A couple years ago I had a yard sale of a bunch of stuff laying around the house that was going to get thrown away otherwise. This was something that was thrown into the mix of bags and wallets that we had. I saw it as we put everything out and knew that I had to keep it. I mean, it's an N64 wallet! I can't resist that. The velcro is coming off of it, and that's making me sad. I intend to get the velcro re-sewn onto it so that I can keep using it. It'll be a long while before I let this thing go. It's too much awesome to let go of.

why 117?

Somewhere around my freshman year in high school, I started seeing this number everywhere I went. I would look at the clock and the time would be either 11:17 or 1:17. I would be customer 117 on a receipt. The date would be 1/17, and I wouldn't realize it until I put it on paper. I found out after the fact that the Halo Spartan is number 117. I even found myself having $117 in my wallet once on pure accident.*

So instead of becoming frustrated at it for much longer, I've dedicated this little portion of the internet to it. Now and again you'll see pictures of the number 117 in various places. I took a picture of $1.17 in change. My dorm room last year was 117 (no joke), so I took a picture of the room indicator. Things like that, you know?

*i don't ever carry around this much money, so don't bother robbing me. I don't think I even have $117 right now, anyway
